Hall vows to fight sex offence allegations

Veteran BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall today vowed to fight sex offence allegations and “regain my honour”, saying he had been through a “living nightmare” since the charges were brought.

Speaking outside Preston Magistrates’ Court, the 83-year-old former It’s A Knockout presenter said: “The last two months of my life have been a living nightmare. I have never gone through so much stress in my life.”
